FDL Book Salon Welcomes David Evanier, All the Things You Are: The Life of Tony Bennett

By: Sunday September 4, 2011 1:59 pm

I saw Stevie Wonder for the first time the other night at the Hollywood Bowl. He’s been on the list that resides in my mind of “Artists I Must See Live” for as long as I’ve had the list. It was so exciting. There he was in the flesh, dressed in a white suit at his keyboards delivering the goods. His voice was great, his band was great, he’s the man.
